If I have a green card and my baby daughter is US citizen but I need to go back to my home country for family reasons, how long can my newborn stay with me?
I know US citizens can stay in my country for 90 days without a visa. Does that apply to babies aswell?

Yes, a baby would be treated as any other person entering your country. See if your child would be eligible for citizenship in your home country, if that will make things easier for your baby to travel with you although it is not required.
